Energy resource pre-allocation and delivery based on demand

Abstract

Embodiments include methods, systems and computer readable storage medium for demand prediction and energy resource pre-allocation and/or relocation. The method includes monitoring, by a processor, venue event information for one or more locations. The method further includes calculating, by the processor, an energy resource demand based on a charge demand model. The method further includes determining, by the processor, whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location. The method further includes instructing, by the processor, one or more vehicles having spare energy resources to contribute at least a portion of the spare energy resources to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for demand prediction and energy resource pre-allocation and/or relocation, the method comprising:
 monitoring, by a processor, venue event information for one or more locations; 
 calculating, by the processor, an energy resource demand based on a charge demand model; 
 determining, by the processor, whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location; 
 instructing, by the processor, one or more vehicles having spare energy resources to contribute at least a portion of the spare energy resources to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations; and 
 transferring the at least a portion of the spare energy resources to one or more receiving vehicles. 
 
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 determining whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources; and 
 dispatching one or more mobile energy resource stations to the location to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources. 
 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 1  further comprising determining an occurrence of an event or large gathering based on the venue event information. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 estimating a number of vehicles traveling to the location; and 
 determining a state of charge for one or more receiving vehicles of the vehicles traveling to the location. 
 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 4 , wherein the one or more receiving vehicles are electric vehicles. 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the charge demand model is based on a state of charge for one or more receiving vehicles and the available energy resource stations provided at the location. 
     
     
       7. A system for demand prediction and energy resource pre-allocation and/or relocation, the system comprising:
 a memory; and 
 a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor is operable to:
 monitor venue event information for one or more locations; 
 calculate an energy resource demand based on a charge demand model; 
 determine whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location; and 
 instruct one or more vehicles having spare energy resources to contribute at least a portion of the spare energy resources to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations, wherein at least a portion of the spare energy resources are transferred to one or more receiving vehicles. 
 
 
     
     
       8. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further operable to:
 determine whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources; and 
 dispatch one or more mobile energy resource stations to the location to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources. 
 
     
     
       9. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further operable to determine an occurrence of an event or large gathering based on the venue event information. 
     
     
       10. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the processor is further operable to:
 estimate a number of vehicles traveling to the location; and 
 determine a state of charge for one or more receiving vehicles of the vehicles traveling to the location. 
 
     
     
       11. The system of  claim 10 , wherein the one or more receiving vehicles are electric vehicles. 
     
     
       12. The system of  claim 7 , wherein the charge demand model is based on a state of charge for one or more receiving vehicles and the available energy resource stations provided at the location. 
     
     
       13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method for demand prediction and energy resource pre-allocation and/or relocation comprising:
 monitoring venue event information for one or more locations; 
 calculating an energy resource demand based on a charge demand model; 
 determining whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location; and 
 instructing one or more vehicles having spare energy resources to contribute at least a portion of the spare energy resources to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations; wherein at least a portion of the spare energy resources are transferred to one or more receiving vehicles. 
 
     
     
       14. The computer readable storage medium of  claim 13  further comprising:
 determining whether the energy resource demand exceeds available energy resource stations provided at the location and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources; and 
 dispatching, by the processor, one or more mobile energy resource stations to the location to meet the energy resource demand exceeding the available energy resource stations and spare energy contributions provided by the one or more vehicles having spare energy resources. 
 
     
     
       15. The computer readable storage medium of  claim 13  further comprising determining an occurrence of an event or large gathering based on the venue event information. 
     
     
       16. The computer readable storage medium of  claim 13  further comprising:
 estimating a number of vehicles traveling to the location; and 
 determining a state of charge for one or more receiving vehicles of the vehicles traveling to the location. 
 
     
     
       17. The computer readable storage medium of  claim 16  wherein the one or more receiving vehicles are electric vehicles.
